KEF Reference 1 Meta
The new standard in sound quality.
The renewed Reference series speakers may be the only speakers you'll ever need.
The KEF Reference 1 Meta speakers use a revolutionary metamaterial that absorbs 99% of unwanted sound behind the tweeter. The material and labyrinthine structure eliminate the resulting distortion and produce a cleaner, more natural sound.
The speakers use the 12th generation Uni-Q driver. The new driver, combined with the metamaterial, produces a cleaner sound with less distortion and coloration, which is more transparent and realistic than before.
Designed and hand-made in Maidstone, Kent.
The new Reference is probably the best passive speaker set on the market.
